Abstract
Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in a long-lived
meta-stable vacuum is a phenomenologically viable possibility.
This relatively unexplored avenue leads to many new models of
dynamical supersymmetry breaking. Here, we present a surprisingly
simple class of models with meta-stable dynamical supersymmetry
breaking: 
= 1 supersymmetric QCD, with massive flavors.
Though these theories are strongly coupled, we definitively
demonstrate the existence of meta-stable vacua by using the
free-magnetic dual. Model building challenges, such as large
flavor symmetries and the absence of an R-symmetry, are easily
accommodated in these theories. Their simplicity also suggests
that broken supersymmetry is generic in supersymmetric field
theory and in the landscape of string vacua.
